El efecto de corto plazo de la Educación Infantil sobre el desempeño en Matemática. Un aproximación mediante Propensity Score Matching y Fully Interacted Linear Regression Model

The aim of this paper is to measure the pre-school short term effect on math learning, using TERCE (Tercer Estudio Regional Comparativo y Explicativo) as data base. Effects are estimated by Propensity Score Matching (PSM) (Rosenbaum and Rubin,1983), and by FullyInteracted Linear Regression Model (FILM). A positive short-term effect on children who attending to kindergarten is found.
